The same model as our Airbnb management: one agreement, the whole operation, and a monthly statement.
Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo with one synchronised calendar, so your summer house is seen and booked without double bookings.
We write the listing, set up the photos and adjust the price as seasons and demand change.
We answer guests before, during and after their stay and deal with the unexpected, so you do not have to.
Guests message us, not you.
A key box or code lock, so arrivals work smoothly, even late in the evening, without you meeting the guests.
Cleaning, linen and preparation between each rental, as with Airbnb management, billed separately at cost or agreed rates.
A monthly statement of income, costs and net result you can put straight into your accounts.
We manage your summer house using the same model as our Airbnb management: the same platforms, the same guest service and the same fixed percentage fee.
If you also have, or are considering, a holiday apartment in a holiday centre or a timeshare week, we manage that too.

Two different rules answer two different questions. We keep them apart.
Generally not, if you are an individual renting out 1-2 summer houses (couples can rent out 3-4). The Danish Business Authority does not normally treat this as commercial rental if you have real personal use of at least 2 weeks a year per house, and the rental does not exceed 41 weeks a year.
Commercial rental, on the other hand, requires a permit from the Danish Business Authority under section 1 of the Summer Houses Act.
This is a different question from the one above. The Danish Business Authority’s guidance on section 40 of the Planning Act states that you as the owner may use the summer house yourself for up to 34 weeks in the summer period (1 March to 31 October) and up to 9 weeks in the winter period (1 November to the end of February), 43 weeks in total.
This is a right to use the house, not a right to rent it out. How many weeks you may rent it out is governed by the Summer Houses Act and the guidance above, not by this figure.
This page is general information, not tax or legal advice. The rules change, and your situation may differ. Check with the Danish Business Authority, the Danish Tax Agency or an adviser before you make a decision.

The Danish Business Authority’s guidance on section 40 of the Planning Act gives you up to 43 weeks of personal use a year (34 weeks summer, 9 weeks winter). This is a right to use it, not a right to rent it out, and should not be confused with the 41-week figure that decides whether the rental needs a permit.
Yes. There is an annual standard deduction (DKK 13,800 for private rental, DKK 50,200 when rented out via an agency that reports to the Danish Tax Agency, in 2026), and only part of the remaining amount is taxed.
